AnswerIn Mark's Gospel, the disciples, including Peter, are described as lacking understanding, almost foolish. It is Peter who denied Jesus three times, out of cowardice.
In Matthew's Gospel, Peter is impetuous and his faith is inadequate, but he is now portrayed as a figure of authority, finally emerging as the pre-eminent leader of the twelve.
In Acts, Peter has acquired miraculous powers, equalled only by those of Jesus. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that Peter's cure of Aeneas at Lydda (9:32-35), with the command to rise, echoes closely Jesus' cure of the paralysed man (Luke 5:24-26). Even more closely, Peter's revivification of Tabitha at Joppa (9:36-43) resembles Jesus' action in raising the daughter of Jairus (Luke 8:49-56).
